Staff Engineer

As a ML processor bring-up and validation engineer in our System Engineering team, you will have a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of machine learning and systems engineering: performing combined tuning of model + system parameters, studying sparsity and data statistics vs. power/temperature; debugging performance and power bottlenecks for modern machine learning models. Additionally, the successful candidate will gain experience with state-of-the art ML processor architecture, embedded firmware development, board design and debug.

This role is remote, based primarily out of Toronto Canada or Portland Oregon, USA

Responsibilities:

• Development of post-silicon test and characterization/tuning plans
• ML processor/board/system bring-up and validation
• Drive issue debug found at all phases of product life cycle: bring-up, validation and production
• Lead collaborative test approach and track test plan execution
• Power/performance/speed characterization, data analysis and product definition
• Architecture and development of frameworks for automating post-silicon verification, data analysis and debug

Experience & Qualifications:

• Bachelor or Master’s in Electrical or Computer Engineering with more than 8 years of relevant experience
• Superior analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent programming skills (C, C++, Python, Perl)
• Strong understanding of computer architecture and logic design
• Experience in scripting and test automation
• Good understanding of circuit design, power regulation, high speed signal propagation
• Experience using lab equipment: high speed oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.
• Interest in and understanding of machine learning
• Superior verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to work cross functionally and drive issues to closure
